Tulsa Botanic Garden, Botanical garden in Osage Hills, Oklahoma, United States.
Tulsa Botanic Garden is a large botanical space in Osage Hills featuring thousands of trees and flowering plants alongside a 7-acre lake. Pathways connect diverse habitats including Cross Timbers forests and native prairie sections throughout the grounds.
The garden was established in 1999 initially as a research and education center for Oklahoma's centennial commemoration. Significant expansion came in 2004 when a large land donation created the current layout.
The garden holds significance for the Osage Nation community, marked by a land blessing that honored its connection to indigenous heritage. This recognition shaped how the space relates to the region's native peoples and their relationship with the land.
The grounds are accessible daily with multiple walking trails ranging from easy strolls to longer routes through different ecosystems. Flat and gently rolling terrain accommodates various fitness levels and paces for visitors.
The Bumgarner Family Foundation Lotus Pool features floating plant arrangements and aquatic species integrated into the larger water system. This area showcases water-based growing techniques that connect smaller water features to the main lake.
